can we say it is a physiological process -
a brain state?
the point is why?
corresponding physiological processes - that
parallel states of consciousness - let's say
OK - for the minute
the world is physical - another OK
even given these concessions
the question - though at the heart of this is -
what is it to say?
it is to say - the world is physical - OK
we name it so -
and with this name - comes descriptions
this name / description - 'physical'
is a product of consciousness
we - for the sake of neatness - consistency -
homogeneity - say
consciousness is physical
we bring it into the tent -
(the tent it built)
we will say the light shines on itself
in my view consciousness - finally defies any
description
there is no view but consciousness
it is the seeing - not what is seen
but I have tried to suggest here
that we can see that logically speaking
there is an argument for saying that
the seeing of consciousness -
the states of awareness
may not be - all there is to it
that it is possible to see states of awareness
as a function of something deeper
that consciousness is not fully exhausted by
it states
and it could follow from this
that consciousness may exist in some sense in
the absence of awareness
that states of consciousness - presuppose an
unknown - dimension?
(should give the life after death - 'the mind
survives' theorists a fillip)
